Meeting candidates face-to-face is important and our Live Interview tool provides your recruitment team with this convenient and user-friendly option to schedule live meetings with candidates.
Follow these simple steps to create a job position, schedule a live interview and make changes to the interview when necessary.
Click on the Live section at the top of the home dashboard.
Click on +New Live Interview to create a new Live position.
Enter the position name and you can also add an optional Requisition ID.
Here you can also opt to check the box to record live interviews in order to share them with other team members or come back to them at a later time.
Once you have created the interview, it will appear at the top of your Live Interview list.

Now that the position is created, you can schedule the interview. Simply click on the interview name and you will be taken to the scheduling page.
Select the date, time and duration of your interview.
Next, enter the candidate email and full name. Make sure to enter all information correctly as the candidate information cannot be edited hereafter.
Enter up to 3 interviewers. As the organizer, you do not have to participate in the interview and can schedule it on behalf of other interviewers.
You can then opt to check the box to send invitations and updates to participants. This will make sure all participants receive the interview link, in addition to any updates regarding the interview, such as a change of time or cancellation. If you wish to contact candidates outside of Wepow, you can disable this option.
The email invitation below has all the necessary information to be sent to the candidate about the interview. You can modify this template, but please do not edit the information between brackets as this is auto-populated.
Once you are ready, click Save, check the information and your invitation will be sent to the candidate.
Once the interview is scheduled, you can choose to add more interviews at different times for the same position.

You can also close or delete the live interview by clicking the icons at the top of the list.
Once an interview is completed, you will see a video with a play icon where you can see a recording of the interview (if this option was enabled) It can take up to 30 minutes for a live video recording to become available.
